Cty. council
hears of
vaccine
requests
The Huron County Health Unit
has received many requests for the
meningitis vaccine but does not
carry the vaccine so can't honour
requests, Cheryl Feagan, acting
director of the health unit told
county council at its Jan. 8 meeting.
The health unit doesn't normally
stock vaccines, Feagan said. It
would only carry the vaccine if
there had been a meningitis out-
break in the county, which there
hasn't been. The vaccine is very
specific to the particular strain of
the disease that is infecting people,
she said. In addition, most vaccine
is being required in the Kitchener-
Waterloo area.
The health unit has also been
monitoring efforts of staff at the
Alexandra Marine and General
Hospital in Goderich to deal with
the VRE outbreak. The infectious
bacteria has become a problem for
hospitals across the continent
because it is resistant to most forms
of antibiotics.

Rev. Murray's sermon was
called, "Learning to drink Cana
Wine".
The scripture reading was about
Jesus' first miracle of turning water
into wine at a wedding. In Jesus'
day wine makers didn't have
control over the alcohol content
because the process which turned
grape juice into wine was
considered a mysterious wonder. A
good batch of wine was a product
of luck, as it was a matter of skill.
To have a good batch of wine was
considered a gift from God. "We
aren't supposed to be looking for a
rationale or scientific explanation
of what happened, at that wedding,
in those stone jars. We are looking
for the spiritual message; a way to
understand the significance of the
event," said Rev. Murray.
"However, so much emotional
baggage is brought forward over
the role of wine in the miracle that
we are often unable to get the point
that Jesus was trying to make."
"Whether we drink or not, we
need to have a healthy attitude
towards alcohol. The abuse of
alcohol can cause great evil and
suffering."
But this does not automatically
make alcohol an evil substance, he
said. The writers of the Bible did
warn against drunkenness, but they
also compared the euphoria of wine
with the euphoria of knowing God.
"We need a healthy and mature
understanding of alcohol, before
we can fully appreciate the
message contained in the Bible,
like in the story of the wedding
feast at Cana."
"There are many times in the
Bible where being filled with the
Holy Spirit is compared to the
euphoria of inebriation. It is a
vision of the joy we find in God."
Communion was served by Mary
Humphries, Viola Kirkby and
Leona McDonald.
The service ended with the hymn
Spirit of Gentleness and the Choral
Amen.
